Our Christmas party is canceled at work this year, too. Called it “being broke.”

Ok, not really. We had the employee pot luck, but no big shindig. Haven’t for a couple of years.

They actually cancelled all our Christmas parties at work this year. Called it “social distancing”.

Yeah, going was kinda dependent on the “feeling a bit better” part. That sucks, you guys. Feel better!

Ew! Poor Coffee. Hope he is feeling better soon and that he keeps his Raging Flu of DOOOOOM (and PHLEGM) to himself.

This year does seem particularly bad for illnesses and I must say that we have bailed on A LOT of social engagements to avoid either infecting others or picking up YET ANOTHER OHMYGAWDWILLWEEVERBEHEALTHYAGAIN VIRUS from someone else.

Here’s to good health for all by Christmas!

I hope you feel better too and I’m sorry you missed your company party two years in a row.

When I originally planned to go to the party I was figuring that I’d be feeling around 95% given my progression. Instead I turned down to 60% or so :/ So no, feeling like this I would still have bowed out of the party if boss man had tried to cajole me into it.

Nobody. As I write this, Coffee is wheezing on the sofa, under a duvet and an electric blanket, coughing up a lung and plotting his visit to the walk-in clinic at our doctor’s office tomorrow morning. He has a sore throat, intermittent earache, popping ears (from coughing), bright yellow phlegm, very low energy levels and a runny nose. He has taken cough syrup and some Advil and tells me he’ll take more Benylin tonight before sleep – and, speaking of sleep, he’s gonna’ sleep on the sofa so that his incessant coughing doesn’t keep me awake.

I can’t IMAGINE why going to a party wouldn’t seem like a good idea…

So, who – if anyone – went?
